Red Hat Society World Wide Hoot

Vegas Red Hat Diva's and several other chapters met at the Plaza Casino and Hotel and then we walked, talked and stopped to sing along Fremont Street ending up at Heart Attack Grill.  The temperature outside may have been Hot but I think we were Hotter.

Here is a group photo before we started walking. In the center is Mary Lawson and Mary Stopa

Battle of Bonnets 2016

I want to thank Mary Lawson, Ron Decar's and everyone else involved for another wonderful event. I think the decision to have less attendees was a good decision, we had much more room. Even if I didn't win, I had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting so many Red Hatter's. If you have never been to this event Mark your calendar and go next year it is a blast!!  Our Hat was a joint effort by my chapter and we had a lot of fun designing and making, along with drinking some great wine! I am posting a lot of pictures and hope you enjoy our day as much as we did. We celebrated our 18th Red Hat Birthday in Style.

I hope you enjoyed a few moments of a wonderful time my chapter and I spent. Also Regina won 2-3 prizes, I just can't remember today. I won $80.00 from the 50/50 drawing. Sorry no pictures of me winning, we were being rushed out. I was so excited when my number was called, I just took the money and thanked everyone. I also want to thank Gaylynne for taking over 40 pictures.

My chapter and Mary Lawson met a visiting chapter from California. the Creative Chaos of Aptos. We met their Queen and few members for lunch at the Peppermill. We had a great time, exchanged gifts and had a lot of laughs. A wonderful time by all, they have been doing the town with shows and walk down Freemont Street and much more. Enjoy the photos.

Hat Making Day with Vegas Red Hat Diva's

Last Saturday a group of ladies and chapter members of Vegas Red Hat Diva's gathered and had a pitch-in lunch and Hat Making Day.  As a group we decided to make one hat for the Battle of Bonnets in 2wks.  It was a wonderful day meeting new ladies, and sharing our Hat making ideas, and there were allot of ideas. So with Glue gun, Rhinestones and more here are a few pictures of our day.
